HoUsroI TEX, March 15.-The com
mittee of the stock men recently appoint
ed by the Texas cattle men to decide
upon location for large refrigerator,
canning and packing establishment, while
in session yesterday at Austin, fixed upon

works. All the principal cities in Texas
made oyertures for the location offering
large donations. Houston was selected
because of the liberality of her offer and
her proximity to tidewater, with superior
railroad facilities. Leading citizens have
guaranteed donation of 800 acres of
land and will subscribe for $3.50, 900 Of the
stock. The cattle men will also subscribe
for the same amount Of stock. This
will make Houston the most important
cattle market in the South. The works

MIR. MANNING SAILS.
His Recent Cold Nearly Gone and Hopeful
that the Sea Air Will Benefit Him.

New YORK, March 15-Secretary
Daniel Manning sailed for Europe on the
steamer Arizona this morning He was
accompanied by his wife and daughter.
Mr.. Manning said the voyage was taken
in the hope that the tonic of the sea-air
would benefit his health. He was feeling
strong and the cold he caught in Wash
ington had almost entirely left him. His
old complaint had not troubled him for
six months. While in Europe he might
do little for the new bank by looking
out for suitable places to locate agencies
or branches, but that would only be in his
private capacity and not as an officer of
the bank. Treasurer G. \. Jordan sailed
on the same steamer.

CHICAGO, March IA Times special
from Milledgeyille, Ga, says: The entire
family of John Harris (colored), consist
ing of himself, wife and nine children,
were poisoned on the plantation of Mrs.
J. NJ. Morris last Friday. The poison
acted slowly, and medical attendance was
not summoned until Sunday evening.
By that time one of the family was past
hope and the others in a very critical
condition. Every member of the family
was. when found by Dr. Hardeman, in a
semi-unconscous state, from which they
have not yet recovered. One Of the chill
dren died Sunday night. The verdict of
the corOner's jury was that the child came
to its death from poison. Suspicion rests
upon a yoodoO doctor in the neighbor-
hood, and is grounded upon the fact that
he makes the treatment of poison hob
by, and the suspicion is strengthened by
the fact that the poisoned family incurred
his anger by ridiculing his powers. 1t is
supposed he placed the poison in the
meal-bag by slipping it through crack
in the log house. The mother and two
other children are almost certan to die
